22p each plus vat, part number 90196277 just visit the dealer.

the hard bit is to work out where they fit & then drill & use self tapping screws to fit them.

Rivets would be better IMO. If you are lucky you might find some on eBay. Newer Vauxhalls use them aswell IIRC.

I self tappered mine on, they worked sound....

As said, they are pennies from vauxhall, as newer vauxhalls use the same clips....

pete, I tried that on my old nova & the pop rivet snapped the first clip, so I went with the self tappers, they lasted about 10 years before the sills fell off, and I had to weigh it in

Ah, i see. That foils my idea then lol

I had mine fitted about 6month and when i removed them the sills hadnt rusted at all...
I screwed the self tappers in with a bit of underseal on the thread of each screw....

righto thanks for the info i shall see how they go :)

Another thing "IF" anyone of here has a GTE or GSi that they have the skirt off at the moment, then you could get them to measure out the position of the stud's on the sill's, as thats where you will need to drill.

Just an idea.

When I fitted mine I started with the rear piece which can only go in one position and then worked forward, When fitting the clips along the sill I put a small amount of paint on the clip which was in position on the skirt and then fixed the clip where the paint marks were on the sill, a point to note if you do decide to pop rivit them make sure you use ones with aluminium pins or you'll smash them to bits as the steel pins take too much force to 'crack off'
